Despite some unforeseen delays because the area has clay soils, the paving of Route 89 is advanced, although no opening date. The task, which is included in the package of works which the province takes with IDB funds, began in July last year and will require an investment of 11 million pesos. Until a few weeks ago, when visitors came to Christ Manzano Histórico, Tunuyán, they found that the asphalt ended and should continue on a dirt road riddled with holes and stones. However, now you can go to several campsites and cabins through a newly paved road. The second stretch of Route 89 work is funded by the IDB and allow Tupungato finish connecting with this historic and tourist site, the Los Andes reported. Cristina Fierro and his family have a cabin rented to tourists and explained that until recently who went to Manzano were mostly people Tunuyán and Gran Mendoza, but a couple of years ago two restaurants were opened on Route 89 and that attracted a greater influx of tupungatinos. On the way, she said he was doing maintenance, but that was insufficient as heavy rainfall tend to drag the material to be placed, and as this is a very stony soil, rock surfaced, so it would been necessary to have a machine in place permanently. Now, however, as can be seen in much of the 17-kilometer stretch from the street Benigno Aguirre (in the village of Trees, Tunuyán) to the entrance to the Historic Manzano an asphalt binder of a significant width, since not only treatment performed on the road, but an asphalt irrigation standing on shoulders. Furthermore, the project includes the construction of income properties and frontage to the installation of cross drains, Mendoza reported morning.
